Tony Carroll has just one runner here today but New Tarabela hasn't won in 28 career starts. Pikarnia had been well supported to no avail on a couple of occasions before scoring at Sedgefield though he'll have to defy a 7lb rise to complete a double. Down Time has a poor strike-rate over timber and was beaten in a seller here last month but MISS BARBOSSA hasn't been beaten far in three recent runs at Musselburgh so is handed the vote in a tricky finale. Lochalsh has been well beaten in three recent starts at Sedgefield while Houndscourt is 9lb higher than when scoring here in January.
